On Wednesday July 12th 2017 the member of Local 54 voted to accept the employers proposal of contract. Attached are the updated wage rates that go into effect June 28th 2017 as outlined in the new agreement. Wages are not scheduled to change again until February 01, 2018. However there may be an increase in the Health and Welfare contribution rate after the trustees meeting in October 2017. Therefore these rates are good thru November 30th, 2017.

Please be aware that the U.S. Postal Service has been continuing to take longer to deliver mail to Local 54 here at the Labor Temple. The result of this has been that members have gone suspended due to not allowing enough days for the mail to arrive. The minimum time you should allow is (5) five working days to be safe. Even this may not be enough days, depending where you live. The last business day of the month is the official day of the closing of the Union’s financial books. This month that day is June 30th, 2015, which falls on a Tuesday. The following day is the regular union meeting night. July 1st,
